Reply to comment by vabeachkevin in Surveillance city: The New York City Police Department can use more than 15,000 cameras to track people using facial recognition in Manhattan, Bronx and Brooklyn by glawgii

I work in a facial recognition area and this is correct, the system is far from awesome, sunglasses and a hat is enough to foil it.

I couldn't understand during lock downs how criminals were caught on camera doing crimes without a face mask and glasses. Like the one time where a mask is ok to wear without seeming suspicious and you go and do crime without covering up in broad daylight was surreal to me

Bro, have you ever tried committing a crime in a mask? You can barely breathe and it’s so uncomfortable! /s

Even without that, cameras don't deter criminals and crimes from being committed. They don't seem to care that cameras are catching their every brazen move.

Can’t confirm. Porch pirate just smiled into the camera the last time they stole my package
